SURVEY ALERT!
The Ethics and Standards Committee is currently working on building a robust database of situations and concerns commonly experienced by interpreters and translators in K-12 education.

The purpose of the survey is support the analysis required for the creation of a comprehensive Code of Ethics and Standards of Practices based on a national survey of what educational interpreters and translators have to problem solve in the course of their work. The goal is to identify gaps between existing Code of Ethics in educational interpreting and in other fields of work and determine those elements needed to close such gaps.
